Cytidine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt | 6757-06-8
Product Description
Cytidine 5'-monophosphate disodium salt (CMP disodium) is a chemical compound derived from cytidine, a nucleoside important in nucleic acid metabolism and cellular signaling.
Chemical Structure: CMP disodium consists of cytidine, which comprises the pyrimidine base cytosine and the five-carbon sugar ribose, linked to a single phosphate group at the 5' carbon of the ribose. The disodium salt form enhances its solubility in aqueous solutions.
Biological Role: CMP disodium is involved in various cellular processes:
RNA Synthesis: CMP serves as one of the building blocks for RNA molecules during transcription. It pairs with guanine (G) during RNA synthesis, forming the G-C base pair.
Nucleotide Metabolism: CMP is an intermediate in the de novo biosynthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids, contributing to the synthesis of DNA and RNA.
Physiological Functions
RNA Structure and Function: CMP contributes to the structural integrity and stability of RNA molecules. It participates in RNA folding, secondary structure formation, and interactions with proteins and other molecules.
Cellular Signaling: CMP-containing molecules may act as signaling molecules, influencing cellular processes and pathways involved in gene expression, cell growth, and differentiation.
Research and Therapeutic Applications
CMP and its derivatives are used in biochemical and molecular biology research to study RNA structure, function, and metabolism. They are also employed in cell culture experiments and in vitro assays.
CMP supplementation has been explored for potential therapeutic applications in conditions affecting nucleic acid metabolism, RNA synthesis, and cellular signaling.
Administration: In laboratory settings, CMP disodium is typically dissolved in aqueous solutions for experimental use. Its solubility in water makes it suitable for various applications in cell culture, biochemical assays, and molecular biology experiments.
Pharmacological Considerations: While CMP disodium itself may not be used directly as a therapeutic agent, its role as a precursor in nucleotide metabolism and its involvement in RNA synthesis make it relevant in pharmaceutical research and drug development targeting nucleic acid-related disorders and cellular processes.
